Not all M1924s made it to the USA! The ca. 1930 WUM export catalog shows a cut of the M1924 with it's slightly shorter, in front of the sling swivel, foreend and it's distinctive "Express" rear sight with 3 folding leaves to illustrate the M1925 "High Velocity" rifle. Note: In 8x60 Magnum and 7x64 the export price was US$ 70,- , while the 30-06 was offered at a 10% discount! Three years ago on EGUN a gunsmith offered a rifle with a misleading description: "A very early Mannlicher-Schoenauer, serial #299, mounted with claw-mounts and a 4x Kahles Heliavier scope, caliber changed to 30-06." I noticed the above-mentioned earmarks of a M1924 and the Vienna-style snap-on factory mount. As there were no other bidders, I got it for Euro 350.- +p&h. As it turned out, the stock needed some refinishing due to storage dents, but otherwise the rifle is in original, nearly unused condition. Even the scope mount is numbered 299. Only the inscription on the receiver ring "M1924" has been crudely changed to "KAL:7.62x63", the metric designation of the.30-06. This was apparently done to make it saleable alongside the M1925, which was the first Mannlicher-Schoenauer model that was offered in several chambering and had the cartridge designation in this place instead of a model year.
